Rare MMDown Under Posted May 27, 2020 #29 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thank you, David. That was wonderful watching the chick just sit there surrounded by the bigger birds. How much longer until he can fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted May 27, 2020 #30 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have been watching him and only ever see him alone. I hope the bigger birds were being friendly. Lets hope he grows to full size. How long will that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted May 27, 2020 Author #31 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I have only seen him alone or with one parent before , but this one popped up on my you tube feed and I thought it worth sharing . I note the date at the top is 18 March 2020 . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted May 28, 2020 #38 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's a female. Courtesy of the Conservation website. The nest featured on Royalcam for the 2019/20 season is at Top Flat Track. It belongs to OGK (banded orange, green, black) a 21-year-old male, and YRK (banded yellow, red, black), a 25-year-old female. YRK laid the egg on 14 November 2019 and the chick, a female, hatched on 31 January 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ondine Posted May 30, 2020 #43 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I took a brief look at her yesterday and she was flapping her wings. Great shots BOECKLI. Looking at the "Royal Families of past" they seem to fledge in September so she has a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum52 Posted May 30, 2020 #44 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I was watching this morning and she moved right away from the nest out of camera view and then came back. Prior to moving she was flapping her wings too. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
